Allow a contact to be associated with multiple companies
I deal with contacts that are associated with multiple companies. It would be helpful to be able to represent that reality in Nimble.
We implemented this feature. Now you’re able to store multiple title/company records per contact, as well as store years of employment, past/present places. Similar to LinkedIn work history.

+1 on this feature. Would be extremely helpful. Seems easy to implement??

This has become a bit of an impediment to using Nimble. The number of people that are associated with one company is increasingly rare. I, for instance, am associated with three companies. I added a Nimble contact this week that is associated with two companies. Is there an update on when this feature will be available?

It's 2017. Who works for just ONE company? Please provide us with an option that reflects reality.

Agree with everyone, this is key, please roll it out!

It would be extremely relevant to allow for this functionality so that we can communicate with a contact at each particular company they work for. Without this, it can become a problem miscommunicating with a contact.

Adding contacts to multiple companies is absolutly necessary. It is a real lack of NIMBLE

I echo what others have said already: all sorts of people have a number of roles and associations to a different entities: have an employer, but also sit on a board, or maybe have two part time jobs, or volunteer or belong to other organizations. People are multidimensional, don't force us all to stick to one dimension employee-employer.
Alternatively, if I may suggest a way to address this without have to redo the current structure, allow individuals to be tagged to other companies, maybe you can set the primary as the current one, but then add tags (a variation of the current tags) to signal that are related to other organizations.
Please, please, please consider and be creative in implementing this functionality in some form, don't just dismiss it as: we cannot do this. Yes, you can :) -

Having just started using Nimble, I am already finding this a challenge. Many of my contacts own or are associated with more than one company and there is no way to sensibly manage this in Nimble which is a shame.

Work around = deliberately misspell the person's name when you enter them a second time. Nimble creates the person without protest. THEN correct the spelling.
When I deliberately misspell, I stick in extra letters John becomes zzzzzJohn. Easy to spot and search if needed. -

I also need this ASAP. Very important

This definitely needs to happen. It is not so uncommon for people to have at least 2 activities in different companies, especially at higher management levels.
On top of that not being able to handl subsidiaries is major drawback compare to other CRM tools. -

What's the first thing you want to know about a person, besides their name and where they work now? I'd say their work history. Nimble: it''s time to give us an update on this.

The limitation is causing us all sort of headaches. We need contacts associated with multiple companies and we need companies to be able to set to be a division or subsidiary.
Without this we are going to have to search for an alternative to Nimble because it's just causing us too much pain.

This is one of the biggest obvious drawbacks of Nimble. Your silence on this for so long speaks volumes -- more than you perhaps realise...

PLEASE give an updated response on this - it's hard to depend on Nimble for contact info without basic company connections.
